White House Clinics held a Stakeholder Appreciation Luncheon on Thursday, August 8, 2024, in honor of National Health Center Week, recognizing the invaluable support and collaboration of its community partners. The event took place at the White House Clinics Leadership Suite, located at 311 Radio Park Drive in Richmond, Kentucky.

The luncheon was a part of a series of events celebrating National Health Center Week, which is observed annually to raise awareness about the mission and accomplishments of America’s health centers. This year’s theme emphasizes the critical role that health centers play in providing comprehensive healthcare services to underserved communities across the nation.

Lauren C. Blair, MPH, Human Resource Manager for Provider Recruitment at White House Clinics, expressed the organization’s deep appreciation for the partnerships that have been pivotal in advancing its mission. “Our work in improving the health of our communities would not be possible without the ongoing support and collaboration of our community partners,” Blair stated. “This luncheon is our way of saying thank you and acknowledging the significant impact these partnerships have had over the years.”

Attendees at the luncheon included representatives from various local organizations, government officials, healthcare professionals, and other key stakeholders who have contributed to the success of White House Clinics. The event provided an opportunity for networking, reflection on past achievements, and discussions about the future direction of healthcare services in the region.

White House Clinics has been a cornerstone of community health in Kentucky, offering a wide range of medical, dental, and behavioral health services. The organization’s commitment to delivering accessible and affordable healthcare to all, regardless of their ability to pay, has made it an essential resource for many in the area.

As part of the luncheon, guests were given a sneak peek into upcoming initiatives and projects that White House Clinics plans to undertake in the coming year. These initiatives aim to further enhance the quality of care provided and expand services to meet the growing needs of the community.

National Health Center Week serves as a platform to highlight the importance of health centers in the U.S. healthcare system, particularly in rural and underserved areas. It is a time to recognize the hard work and dedication of healthcare professionals who strive to ensure that everyone has access to quality healthcare.
